New John Walsh show "The Hunt" coming to CNN! - Page 3 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JC1957 · 09-24-2015, 03:27 PM

I'm pretty fed up with any shows on CNN. Constant "breaking news" broadcasts or news stories that go on and on preempting most shows I wanna watch.

Last week I was watching a story about the BTK serial killer and they cut in with "breaking news" about Donald Trump's latest campaign speech.

Gimme a break.

Another update: Paul Jackson, who was on the "Torture House" episode from this past season, surrendered. http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/28/us/the...est/index.html

Good. That scumbag needed to be taken off the streets. The articles I'm reading though say police nabbed him after a viewer tip and he gave them a false name.

What's really good about the Hunt is that they go after (and in many cases, get) the criminals who are tough to find, the ones who had knowledge in how to hide, the ones who got help in hiding, and ones in long cold cases that thought they had gotten away with it. This program does an excellent job in informing the perps that they can never breathe easy, that people don't forget and that there will always be people looking for them.

I'm finally watching the show on Netflix. Didn't realize he did a Bradford bishop segment

Is there any word on another season? I was under the impression that this last season was going to be 16 episodes, 8 airing this past fall and then the other 8 airing sometime after that. Perhaps after all this election stuff?

I really like the presentation of this show. I'm glad they don't try to cram a bunch of stories into a one-hour episode like some other shows.

My source says the show is coming back, but no idea when. There is some confusion as to whether the upcoming episodes are the second part of season 2 or are season 3 episodes. But you are correct in that there 8 upcoming episodes.

The election stuff isn't going away, unfortunately.

has anyone ever seen that ATROCIOUS message board regarding AMW/The Hunt? It's run by some nut called "Scumhunter", who uses every available opportunity to bash The Hunt, CNN, AMW fans and just about everyone and everything else connected to the show. I mean, I think most of us have had some constructive criticism from time to time regarding UM, AMW, the Hunt and similar shows, but she really takes it to a whole other level. She's probably the biggest Concern Troll out there. No wonder it's not a very active forum.

Hi, this is Scumhunter.

A year late on this, ha. But just so everyone knows season 4 from what I know has filmed re-enactments and interviews and such but I do not know when it returns. Also, Chris Ponce from Season 1 was captured in Spain last summer but still hasn't been extradited yet.

But yeah Wiseguy, I know I sort of called you out on my message board (AMW/The Hunt), but in all honesty it was just a boiling point of multiple sites copying and pasting our information and/or claiming "my source" and then not crediting us. You at least credited us once earlier in the thread.

I will address your criticism, which whether you felt that way before or after I made my comments is for the most part fair. The way some posters or me review Hunt episodes as I explained in one thread is like the same way nerds dissect comic book movies. Like even if we liked it, we dissect every thing we did and didn't like. My comments from the first season may have been harsher in tone than threads on the site than in the last two seasons since I was a long-time AMW fan and the new format (only 1-2 fugitives an episode) was something to get used to. My concern was mainly about capturing as many fugitives as possible when they only focused on 1-2 cases.. However, I've now grown used to it and have started to really appreciate the focus on just one fugitive or two fugitives and making them stand out more and the quality of production. I've been a lot more positive about the show lately.

As far as CNN, most of my criticisms were related to stuff like when they would cancel a Hunt rerun to talk about some minor update on Flight 870 8 months, 9 months, 1 year later. While The Hunt is my favorite show, I still feel like CNN's news coverage can be vastly improved. We will either agree or disagree on that one.

Also, I'm not a she

but as far as being a concern troll, there is nothing I care about more than hoping the cases on AMW, The Hunt, and our forum, are one day solved. We have many family members of the victims of some of the cases as regular posters. I helped one family member get their loved one's case on the Unsolved Mysteries website.

As far as being an active forum, we've had a few more posters register in the last year and are a lot more active than we have been in the past. Even amw.com's official forums on Fox was starting to go dead towards the end of the run. But I enjoy the posters we have and how they care about the cases and the new ones we've gained in the past year.

And with everything being said, as a somewhat lurker as well on this forum, I've seen your comments on other threads and see you really do care about the cases, and that is really what should matter and not who credits who.

If you still don't like me, nothing I can do about that and can't win em all. But you are more than welcome to join my forum as well. We're obviously not always going to agree on everything, but that's fine as long as there's civil discussion.

But in conclusion, let's hope we catch some bad guys/girls this year!
